Chapter 504: The Compensation of the River of Time

A few moments later, Su Wen stepped into his office.

He had a hunch about the Fighting God situation and felt quite confident about it.

Maybe the Fighting God of the Ninth Age wasn’t as powerful as the Fighting God of the First Age.

But with the support of the Deity of Wealth in Office—himself—who’s to say he couldn’t surpass the other?

Who knows what the future holds?

What if, by some twist of fate, he ends up exceeding expectations?

Right?

Dreams are worth having.

Set a goal, then work hard to chase it and make it happen.

The once overwhelming number of Arrow Realms and the bleak future outlook—hadn’t they already overcome those?

So, no need to overthink it.

One word!

Charge!

“God of Wealth, the River of Time just reached out. They mentioned that since launching the immortal half-god limit-breaking service, you’ve never paid a visit.”

Yuanbao appeared nearby, grinning as he added, “And after some intense negotiation on my part, the River of Time agreed to waive the fee for your first visit!”

“But there’s a catch—they said you have to use the limit-breaking service within the next three days.”

“After that, the offer’s off the table!”

Su Wen: “……”

“Are you sure it was your negotiation and not some scheme by the River of Time?”

After a brief pause, Su Wen asked in a skeptical tone.

Yuanbao: “?”

What’s going on?

He’d been arguing with the River of Time ever since he got the notification.

Now it seemed like his efforts might have backfired?

“Buzz!”

A golden light flashed, and Luobao materialized nearby.

“God of Wealth, this is absolutely the River of Time’s doing!”

Luobao declared confidently, “The River of Time must have found out somehow that the River of Fate is taking a three-day break.”

“So, they cooked up this promotion to lure you in.”

“God of Wealth, you know how it works—even if it’s free, accepting it still counts as a business transaction.”

“Otherwise, why would the River of Time set such a tight three-day deadline?”

“Maybe if we wait another day, it would be better when the River of Fate returns from its vacation?”

After saying this, Luobao paused for a moment and then added, “When the River of Fate gets back on track, I can negotiate with them; I doubt they will mind too much.”

“And besides, we shouldn’t refuse something that the River of Time offers for free!”

“But during the River of Fate’s vacation, I also have some connections that I can’t reach.”

Across from her, Yuanbao looked surprised.

There’s also this issue?

That dead river is so unreasonable!

“God of Wealth, should I ask about it?”

Yuanbao thought for a moment and asked hesitantly.

“No need.”

Su Wen waved his hand and said, “No matter how generous the service from the River of Time is, I have already made a promise to the River of Fate.”

“If I said I wouldn’t trade with the River of Time for a month, then I won’t trade!”

“A God of Wealth should keep their word, right?”

Yuanbao nodded slightly, agreeing with the God of Wealth’s valuable advice.

Then, he sat at a nearby table, closed his eyes, and started venting about the River of Time.

They dare to trick me like this?

Hmph!

Not forgiving!

“Luobao, I am quite curious about the vacation procedure of the River of Fate.”

Su Wen looked at Luobao and asked, “Doesn’t the River of Fate, which spans the chaos, need a vacation?”

“And a three-day vacation sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it?”

Luobao explained, “God of Wealth, based on my understanding of the River of Fate, it usually wouldn’t take a break for three days.”

“So, what’s going on?”

“Hmm… It seems that the River of Fate wants to do something that requires three days, and they used the most acceptable wording for you to express their request.”

“Do something?”

“Yes.”

“What is it? It can’t be to beat up the River of Time, can it?”

Su Wen raised an eyebrow; after all, in the last sub-timeline, the River of Time had shown no respect to the River of Fate.

The River of Fate had put in so much effort, secretly sneaking in without letting the River of Time notice.

But once discovered, the River of Time instantly drove the River of Fate away.

There was no mercy at all!

Especially since it made the River of Fate lose face right in front of them.

Just after boasting, that huge river suddenly vanished.

So, taking a three-day break while the River of Time engages in a good fight aligns perfectly with the River of Fate’s proud and stubborn nature.

“There’s a possibility,” Luobao nodded and said, “But due to my current limited level, I don’t know much about the specifics.”

“If I were to judge based on speculation and what I’ve learned, the chances of these two rivers clashing are quite high!”

Su Wen narrowed his eyes and suddenly remarked, “So, the River of Time wants me to break the rules, and it’s probably aiming to mess with the River of Fate’s mindset during the fight, right?”

“Given the River of Fate’s thin skin and proud demeanor, such a move would definitely have an impact on it.”

Hearing this, Luobao nodded seriously.

Clearly, she fully agreed with Su Wen!

Perhaps the dark river is planning it this way!

After all, with the Silent River’s shameless attitude, it’s entirely possible they’d pull something like this.

“God of Wealth, the River of Time has admitted it!”

At this moment, Little Gold Vault opened his eyes wide and exclaimed excitedly, “In response to the River of Time’s malicious intentions, I expressed our dissatisfaction in my own way.”

“So, the River of Time said it could offer compensation—multiple compensations, in fact.”

“The first compensation is that you can deposit six hundred sixty-six and eight hundred eighty-eight amounts of wealth into the Gathering Treasure basin.”

“After that, two gifts enhanced by the River of Time’s Protective Boost will be precisely delivered to you.”

“The second compensation is a piece of Time and Space Essence.”

“The value of this item, God of Wealth, you should already be well aware of.”

Pausing for a moment, Little Gold Vault continued, “And the effects of the Time and Space Essence go beyond just safeguarding the return of future items.”

“Its value includes but isn’t limited to crafting Artifacts, integrating within living beings to grant Time and Space talents, and unlocking various powers related to Time and Space…”

“Of course, these are secondary.”

“The most important part is that the River of Time indicated that when you, God of Wealth, borrow the power of the River of Fate to travel to sub-timeline 02 next time, they can facilitate certain matters and even cooperate if needed.”

“That’s all for now. What do you think, God of Wealth?”

Su Wen remained silent for a moment before asking softly, “Little Gold Vault, if I want to obtain these things, do I need to acquire the limit-breaking power of the immortal half-god within three days?”

“The River of Time is willing to give me so many valuable items?”

“Go ask if it’s worth it.”
